PELICAN SHOOTING.
4 Big Hk of Those Birds Killing a
Quarter of a Too at Five Shot.
Probably the biggest bag of feathered
gamo, or rather birds, ever mado in this
country was made at a lake in Dakota two
years ago by two sjiortsmen, who killed over
a quarter of a ton of pelicans at five shots.
The shooters were Frank R. Eshelman, of
Wooster, O., and Elain Wapmer, son of a
Dakota settler, with whom Mr. Eshelman
was stopping while on a bunting trip to the
northwest. Early one September afternoon
Mr. Eshelman and young Wagner were
crossing the prairie from a morning's sport
with prairie chickens, and when about four
miles from Lake Alice, southeast of
the Sissoton Indian reservation," where
tho Wagner homestead was located,
their attention was attracted by white
objects apparently dropping from the
sky over Lake Alice. The sun was shining
brightly and its rays partially reflected by
the moving objects in mid air, and they
looked from that distance like large flakes of
mow dropping earthward. Young Wagner
understood the situation at a glance, know
ing that the objects were animate ones, and
that the circling settling flight downward,
unlike the sweeping flight of geese or swan,
showed them to be pelicans, and the season
for the southern flight of geese and swan was
a little early. Pelicans breed somewhere up
in Manitoba, and their fall flight to the south
occasionally takes in eastern Dakota, where
they generally drop off for a day or so on the
laces in the territory.
It appeared to Eshelman and his companion
as though the blue sky over the lake was
anve with the white objects, and from a rise
of ground they watched the down pour of
pelicans, and gradually saw a long line of
white stretching across the surface of the
lake. While feeding pelicans swim single file,
the rear ones continually flying over the ones
ahead, leap frog fashion, as the head ones
gobble up nearly all the food obtainable, so
that the rear ones would find poor picking.
Young Wagner had had some experience
with pelicans on Lake Alice, and know that
when through feeding they would congre
gate on a sand bar known as "The Poitt," on
the south side of the lake. Such was the
case, and an hour or so later the bar, from
shore to terminus, about 100 feet out of the
wntor, was covered with the big birds.
Thou tho two hunters, having reached home
and having anxiously waited for the pelicans
to gather on the sand bar, started for them.
Tho bar was difficult of access, the country
around being bare, and for several hundred
yards Eshelman and Wagner crawled snake
fashion through the grass. Wagner had an
old double barreled muzzle loader, and Eshel
man had a twelve gauge breech loader. Hav
ing discarded their hunting coats and vests to
make crawling easier. Wagner had only two
loads in his gun and Eshelman had two shots
In his, besides two shells in the pocket of his
flannel shirt, all loads being BB shot When
within about sixty yards of the point they
rose up. The pelicans were sitting motion
less and in mopish attitudes. Fully 800 were
together on the bar, and four loads of BB's
were emptied into them. Eshelman fired the
fifth shot as the pelicans attempted to raise
and turned over five, having lost one of the
shells from his shirt pocket while "worming'
it through the grass. Pelicans set so close to
gether that it is with difficulty that they can
raiss when suddenly surprised, and they wore
slow in getting away, their long wings, with
spread of eight feet or more, striking each
other.
Just twenty-one of he flock stayed in the
nor, two cripples attempting to swim oC,
one succeeding. The other was caught by
tho wing and pulled back by young Wagner,
who rushed into the water waist deep to haul
him back, making twenty-two pelicans
brought to bag by five shots. The birds
weighed from fifteen to thirty pounds, their
combined weight being about a quarter of a
ton. It required a wagon to haul them to
the house. Among the lot were several old
males, with "boms" on their bills. The old
ones are easily distinguished from young
ones. The latter have pale greenish feet, and
tho skin around the eyes bears a similar color.
Legs of old ones are more cf an orange or
pinkish hue; also tho slan about the eyes.
The large if kin sacks on the lower mandible
were empty, except marked here and there
with live leeches.
As pelican moat ia not considered palatable,
the leathers were taken for bedding, and
several of the finest birds were preserved for
mounting. Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Creat Emergency.
A recently appointed policeman was one
night sent to a remote part of the West
Twelfth street district to travel the beat of
an officer who had been taken suddenly ill.
The locality was a dangerous one, and before
setting out from the station the new man was
admonished to be sure to call for the patrol
wagon if be got in any trouble. Two hours
later a ten-Lie thunder storm arose. Capt.
O'Donnell sat in his private office, a number
of officers in reserve idled about the squad
room. Suddenly the telephone instrument
clickod. Capt. O'Donnell heard the operator
tell the patrol wagon to go to a certain local
ity "in a harry."
A "hurry coll" is serious. It means that
an oOcer U in need of immediate assistance.
This call came from the post to which tho
new man had been sent The captain imag
ined all sorts of desperate crimes.
"Come on, you men!" he shouted to the
officers in the squad room, as he rushed out of
the station and sprang aboard the wagon,
which was already in the street The re
serves hurried after him. Few stopped to
get storm coats. They piled on the wagon,
tho word was given, and away dashed the
patrol, rushing through the storm that in
less than a moment had drenched every man
through and through. Arriving at the box
from which it had been called, the wagon
pulled up. Capt. O'Donnell leaped to the
ground, his men following. The policeman
who bad called for assistance came forward
from a doorway.
"What's tho trouble?" excitedly demanded
the captain.
"Why, I wanted my rubber coat,"' replied
the officer.
And he is still on the force. -Chicago

Color of Katydid.
There hfls recently come into the possession
of the writer a specimen of the katydid
showing a remarkable variation in color.
The whole body is of a beautiful and delicate
rose pink. The specimen when captured did
not seem to l abnormal in any other respect
It has been identified by a member of the
entomological division of the agricultural de
partment as Phylloptera oblongifolia. It
seems to be a rare variation, though from the
same gentleman we learn that at least one
similar case has been recorded. A specimen
exactly like this one in color is mentioned by
Riley in his "Sixth lieport on the Insects or
Missouri" as having been sent to him many
years ago. L. X. Johnson in Science.

baling reqUire9 careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy like Ilood's Sarsa
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. It tones the stomach and other
organs, regulates the digestion, creates a
good appetite, and by thus SJetr
overcoming the local symp- u ' .
toms removes the sympa- MoaOaCn
thette effects of the disease, banishes the
headache, and refreshes tho tired mind.
" I have beeu troubled with dyspepsia. 1
had but liit'.o appetite, and what I did eat
Mfnif distressed me, or did me
V31 little good. Ia au hour
bum after citing I would expe
rience a faintness, or tired, all-gouo feeling,
as though I had not eaten anything. My trou
ble, I think, was aggravated by my business,
which is tlir.t of a painter, and from being
more or less shut up in a Sour
room with fresh paint. Last fc u
spring I took Hood s Sarsa- StOmaCH
rllla took three bottles. It did me an
immense amount of good. It gave mo an
appetite, and my food relished and satisfied
the craving 1 had previously experienced."
